QuanTek Econometrics Software

Download QuanTek here!

You may download the latest QuanTek
version 3.9a''
here and run it on your Windows computer. The installation file
for version 3.9a has been rebuilt to include the
mfc110u.dll, which seems to be missing from some
Windows installations. With this latest rebuild,
the DLL is placed in the System Folder. The QuanTek
program itself is unchanged. (Posted January 9, 2019.)

Demonstration version: The demo version is fully functional, except for the ability to
parse data into data files, and becomes the fully functional version once activated with an
Authorization Key. To try out the demo version of
QuanTek, after downloading and installing the program, upon startup you will be greeted by an
Enter Pass Code dialog box, where you can enter your
Pass Code (if you have one). If
QuanTek has not yet been authorized, click the Authorize button which takes you to the
Authorization Key dialog, where you can enter your
Authorization Key (license). If you do not have a
license, just click Close in this dialog and you can try out
QuanTek without a license. You can try out
QuanTek without a license using the files
in the Sample Files folder included with the
installation. To create new data files using securities data from
AlphaVantage or EOD Historical Data, you need to purchase a license from
Omicron Research Institute.

System Requirements: QuanTek is designed to run on
Windows
7 or higher. QuanTek also requires
.NET 4.0 to be installed. The development computer is running 8.0 GB of RAM on an
i7 processor, so this can be taken as a minimum recommended system.
To verify that QuanTek runs correctly on
your system, you can download and run the demo program.

Screen Requirements: The QuanTek
program was designed for a minimum screen resolution of 1280 by 1024 pixels.
It is recommended that this resolution or higher be used to run the program, especially in the vertical direction,
otherwise the Dialog Bar will be cut off, and there won't be enough room to display the graphs.

Financial Data: The QuanTek 3.9a
package contains separate executable files for two different
databases. One of these is a free data source
called Alpha Vantage. The other is an inexpensive
source called EOD Historical Data. Here is a
description of the available data sources:

The QuanTek Help file contains instructions and URLs for
acquiring a license key for each of these databases. Either one, or
both, of these databases may be used to download data
interchangeably. (Note: In converting to the new
data sources, it was necessary to change the way the data are stored
in the data files, although the file format itself is the same.
Therefore, if you have created data files previously, you will need
to start over and re-create your data files from scratch.)

Download: The installation file contains
executable files for two different databases. You may use either one
or both simultaneously. We have rebuilt the installation file to
include the mfc110u.dll. However, to make sure your
system has all the required DLLs, please install
the Microsoft
Redistributable below. Then click here to download QuanTek 3.9a''(2019-01-09)
for Alpha Vantage or EOD Historical Data:

This file has been scanned multiple times by
two different anti-virus programs and has always been given a clean bill of
health.

Installation: This version of
QuanTek comes in an InstallShield installation file. Just download and save the
installation file, then double-click on the installation file
to run the installation. Or you can run the installation file directly from the web site. After installation, please remember to keep all the files together in the same folder -- otherwise it will not work properly. (In particular, the
QuanTek_39a.chm Help file must be in the same folder with the
QuanTek_39a.exe executable file. Please do not
rename the files -- the two files must have the same name in order
for the program to be able to find the Help file.)

Sample Files:
The Sample Files folder has been set to install in
your My Documents folder. The first time you
install QuanTek, the program should open
to this portfolio folder automatically, displaying the 20 securities
in the Dialog Bar window on the left. These consist of 4 indexes, 10
stocks, 4 ETFs, and 2 mutual funds. You can then create other
portfolio folders and navigate between them. (If you have trouble
locating the Sample Files, or run into any other
issues, please send us an email.)

Redistributable: When running the installation program, if you get a message
saying that the mfc110u.dll, or some other DLL file is missing, you
can fix this by installing the necessary Microsoft
Redistributable from the
following link:

Just follow the instructions to download and install this
Redistributable. This will supply all the system
DLL files that are
normally supplied by Visual C++ 2012, required to
run QuanTek, in case they are not already
on your computer.
